Probably things have changed since then, but in the current code there is initrd_start = __phys_to_virt(initrd_start); and in between only the code related to CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, so I believe it's safe to use __phys_to_virt() here as well. > I suppose you could convert the VA back to a PA before any adjustments > and then back to a VA again after.
